God forbid cBS attempted to do some journalism on the things Americans really care about in practice, digging into things like this
This is why #Kamala should have never made it anywhere near the White House.
She raided parents with SWAT Teams and put them in jail – separating them from their kids – to protect the state of California's revenue.
…and cackled about it. ???????? pic.twitter.com/Up75zdia7K

She laughed about it. But, maybe cBS could ask Kamala why she takes so many unnecessary fossil fueled trips?
Election Day is just days away and of all the critical issues at stake, there is one that has a fast-approaching deadline to get a handle on: climate change. If emissions aren’t drastically reduced by 2035, the U.N. warned last week, global climate disaster will be inevitable — but the impacts of climate change are already being felt in daily life in the U.S.
From maternal health and immigration to the cost of food, electricity and insurance, here’s how.
If you’re adding “here’s how”, it’s not news, it’s opinion, just like they started doing at Vox.
The economy is top of mind for voters this year, and experts say that climate change has the potential for “significant economic harm.” According to NOAA, the impacts of extreme climate events, including hurricanes, wildfires and floods, are costing the nation an estimated $150 billion every year. The University of Chicago’s Energy Policy Institute finds that climate impacts cost just under 1% of the nation’s GDP for every 1 degree Fahrenheit in temperature change, on average. Even “modest amounts of warming” will hurt the U.S. economy, researchers found.
They also do immigration, mining, disaster recovery, transportation, fracking, home insurance, maternal health and pregnancy (I though Dems wanted to abort all kids?), electric bills, grocery bills, and power infrastructure, all in a manner to prop up Kamala’s bad policies, saying if we don’t Do Something then all these things are doomed.
The American Society of Civil Engineers said in its latest report grading the nation’s infrastructure that this sector received a “C-,” with the organization’s experts saying U.S. energy infrastructure is aged and still being used half a century past its life expectancy. That age, combined with the increasing extreme weather events, could cost businesses about $150 billion a year. Blackouts pose additional dangers to human health, including blocking access to food and water, communication and emergency health care.
Yeah, well, Kamala and her climate cult comrades won’t let us build new natural gas and nuclear power plants.

Do not become inebriated by the discovery of Lithium in the Salton sea basin. While it is true that there is a shit-ton of it, the problem is that the amount of water needed to mine it would completely drain the Colorado river and put the entire southwest into a dangerous water shortage of epic proportions.
It is like finding a million dollars in the road next to the overturned brinks truck with swat members closing in on you, yelling put your hands in the air. There might be Lithium there, but it ain’t worth anything because there is not enough water in the Southwest to mine it without creating catastrophic harm to the citizens.
Dig it up and take it someplace that has water. Iceland is a major exporter of Aluminum even though they don’t mine a single pound of ore. They do have excess electricity though so they do all the dirty mining and reducing in Africa, then refine it in Iceland.
